Data labeling

LiDAR and 3D point cloud annotation for autonomy and robotics

3D cuboids, point-level semantic segmentation and camera–LiDAR fusion, labeled by annotators who qualify on gold-standard scenes before they touch your data.

The hard frames are the ones that matter.

Perception teams rarely struggle with the easy scenes. They struggle with the pedestrian half-hidden behind a matatu, the sparse cluster at 80 metres, the motorbike weaving between lanes and the handcart no class list anticipated. That is where annotators disagree, and where inconsistent labels make a model hesitate.

We agree cuboid conventions up front, covering heading, truncation, occlusion levels and unusual road users, then track objects across sweeps so identities stay consistent through an entire sequence.

Our 3D and LiDAR workflow in detail

What our LiDAR & 3d point cloud annotation covers

Combine any of these in one workflow and one guideline.

  • 3D cuboids

    Oriented boxes with heading, size and attributes, fitted tightly to the point cluster.

  • Point-cloud segmentation

    Semantic and instance labels at the point level for drivable area, vegetation, structures and more.

  • Sensor fusion

    Camera and LiDAR linked so every 3D object has a matching 2D label.

  • Multi-sweep tracking

    Consistent object IDs through sequences of sweeps.

  • Lanes & road edges

    3D polylines for lane markings, curbs and road boundaries.

  • Mapping features

    Poles, signs and static infrastructure for HD-map datasets.

Pricing

3D cuboids from $0.12 per cuboid, and from $0.09 at volume. Point-level segmentation is quoted after a sample.

How we keep it accurate

Every project runs on the same four-check QA process. See how our QA works.

  • Scene-level QA

    Reviewers check whole scenes, not single objects, so missed far-range clusters are caught.

  • Class-by-class agreement

    Inter-annotator agreement and defect rates are tracked per class to surface problems early.

  • Lead-annotator escalation

    Uncertain scenes are routed to a lead annotator for a final decision.

How a project runs

  1. Scope and guidelines

    We review a sample, agree classes, edge cases and acceptance criteria, and sign your NDA.

  2. Pilot phase

    Pilot phase helps you judge quality, speed and communication.

  3. Certified team

    Annotators pass a gold-set test before they are cleared for production.

  4. Production and reporting

    Batches with QA reports, in your format, on an agreed schedule.

LiDAR & 3D point cloud annotation questions

Do your annotators have 3D experience?

3D annotators need at least six months of 2D annotation experience and pass a task-specific 3D assessment before joining a project.

Can you work with our sensor setup?

Yes. Share your calibration files and coordinate conventions, and we configure the tool and guidelines around them.

How do you handle sparse or distant points?

Guidelines set minimum point counts and distance rules per class, with examples, so far-range objects are labeled consistently.
